You voted yes and are traitors to our nation.The seventh circle of hell is reserved for you.Save our Nationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834790239565769134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768478305742346873.post-5923962493486631162014-01-14T01:04:34.227-08:002014-01-14T01:04:34.227-08:00Great difficulty in using the UK as a hallmark. Ne...Great difficulty in using the UK as a hallmark. Net migration, in the UK, last year alone, totalled almost 200,000. Immigration in the UK has been a recurring phenomenon for a substantial part of the last century. <br /><br />Alongside this, there is a very transparent class system in the UK. Couple immigration with the frequent racial and social prejudice and it becomes a manifestation that parties like the UKIP thrive upon. <br /><br />The nature of both states immigration trends differ greatly! Ireland's immigration comprises mostly of Eastern European workers. The UK's is far more multicultural and a lot more open to manipulation due to former colonisation and the commonwealth & the ease of free movement this presents. It is also noteworthy that certain groups of immigrant travel to the UK with no intention of working, instead opting to utilise the benefit system for nothing short of personal gain.<br /><br />A threat to the workforce is the foremost concern of Ireland. It is far greater in the UK. Radicals and groups such as Islamic extremists are growing problems it needs to address. Alongside this the economic burden of free at point of service healthcare to all those resident in the UK. The financial input into the NHS is bigger than Ireland's total government expenditure!<br /><br />Division in British society is far greater than that in Ireland. Class system, ignorance and the lack of desire to integrate found in some groups is driving society there in many different directions. There are many fundamental problems which certainly do not aid this, such as the concept of a benefit state. Something that is not so easily manipulated in Ireland.<br /><br />Apologies for an unregimented response and the lack of archived evidence. It's still early in the day and just gave this a read before going out the door. <br /><br />Good work observing the absence of such parties in Irish politics and outlining the reasons and your own opinion but very hard to underpin authority when comparing a small, post-faltering economy like Ireland to a world superpower, despite geographical likeness. <br /><br />Keep up the good articles dude!
